So, you’ve finally booked the live band or DJ of your dreams for your wedding. But now it’s time to select the song that could become your song. You know—the one you play on every anniversary because it never fails to remind you of the joy-filled day that the two of you said “I do.”

Sound familiar? If so, then ditch those song-selection jitters goodbye! We recently tasked one of our favorite entertainers, Jordan Kahn of Jordan Kahn Orchestra,with selecting the top 10 first dance songs of 2016. We love Jordan’s mantra—”Success to me has always been a full dance floor, and I believe that is a big reason why people hire me today”—and with that in mind, there’s no one we’d trust more with this job!

Just like in Grease, we told Jordan that “the rules are…there ain’t no rules” when it came to his selection process. In other words? A song didn’t necessarily have to be brand new in order to make the cut—the goal was simply to identify a few options that have yet to be overplayed on the dance floor. Without further ado, we’re thrilled to share Jordan’s picks with you today. Read on for the top 10 tunes that are sure to start your marriage on the right note. Literally!

Here’s the scenario: You’ve just gotten engaged, and you’ve been to wedding after wedding, and you’ve heard the same songs over and over again, and you want your own reception to be unique. I get it. Your first dance is also one of the first impressions your guests will have of you as a married couple. With that in mind, use these suggestions to ensure that your first dance is meaningful, memorable, and special.

“All The Way” by Frank Sinatra: Want a song that has a classic big band sound, with a ton of meaning, that’s easy to dance to, but not as overplayed as “At Last?” Coming in at number one, this is your song!

“Like I’m Gonna Lose You” by Meghan Trainor and John Legend: A great new duet about love. This song is relatively new, meaning you could be the first among your friends to use it as you and your hubby’s first dance song.

“Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran: This song makes people say “awww” almost instantly. It’s like Ed knows exactly what your significant other is thinking in that moment.

“Just The Way You Are” by Billy Joel: One of my favorite songs. Billy Joel is a master song writer and lyricist. Pick this for a meaningful song that’s easy to dance to.

“From This Moment On” by Shania Twain: Song writers of today could take a lesson from producer Mutt Lang and singer/songwriter Shania Twain. This song speaks directly to commitment and love, is accompanied by beautiful and moving music, and is easy to dance to.

“I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz: Similar to Ed Sheeran at spot number three, this song makes people sigh as soon as they hear the guitar intro. It may have been played a lot in 2012, but at this point, it’s had enough rest to make a lasting impact for 2016.

“Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons: This one is a classic, and features two distinct parts. You will get to slow dance with your significant other at first, but once the chorus hits, your entire wedding party will be singing along!

“We Are In Love” by Harry Connick Jr.: For the couple who knows how to dance, and might even choreograph their first dance, this is a fantastic song about love. When paired with the right dance moves, it’s sure to leave your guests talking about your first dance for years to come.

“Marry Me” by Train: This one speaks for itself. It’s romantic, it sends a clear message, and it’s easy to dance to. You can’t go wrong with this song.

“Sugar” by Maroon 5: Known as the wedding song of 2015, this song might be on its way out, but is still a good choice if you’re looking to have your guests share in your first dance. It’s guaranteed to fill your dance floor so that you can transition straight into a dance party!

Of course, if your song isn’t on this list, that’s okay. Sometimes, I recommend that the bride and groom think back on any special songs they might have shared while dating. I also recommend to my couples that, regardless of the song, the key to keeping your guests engaged during the special dances is to shorten them to around two to three minutes.

Happy song hunting!

All the best,

Jordan Kahn
